Tourisme Chaudière-Appalaches
Stretching along the St. Lawrence River for over 200 km, the Chaudière-Appalaches region is a veritable garden facing the Old Capital City. Its ideal geographic location has served it very well and this is reflected through the many faces of its landscapes and cultural heritage. The Chaudière-Appalaches region gets it name from the Chaudière River that meanders throughout the Beauce region before flowing into the St. Lawrence at Lévis. To the south of the region, near the Maine state line, are the summits of the Appalachians thatpunctuate the Amiante, Etchemins, Bellechasse, Montmagny and Islet (Côte-du-Sud) regions.
A three-hundred-year history!
In the 17th century, during the French colonization, people settled for the most part along the St. Lawrence. This is where some of the first seigniories were granted. In many areas, it is still possible to marvel at the know-how of past generations by admiring ancestral buildings such as manors,mills and seigniorial homes. It is worth mentioning that several villages along the shores of Lotbinière, Bellechasse and Côte-du-Sud regions are ranked among the most beautiful in all of Québec. They are Lotbinière, Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, Saint-Michel, Saint-Vallier and L’Islet.
